“May the goodness and light in you, honor that same goodness and light in me. We are one. Namaste.”
This message of peace is central to my pursuit of happiness. Peace within myself, and with others. When I find myself unsettled, I look into myself for clarity.
Mediation while sitting on ground of the warm earth,
under trees towering over me,
amidst sounds and smells of spring.
Pollen falls like snow,
not always visible to the eye,
yet covering all surfaces with golden dust.
Sharing my story can be painful,
uncovering severed trusts, vulnerabilities,
venturing into great unknowns.
It is human nature to be uncertain,
confidence is a fleeting facade,
yearning to find solace once again.
Possibly through writing,
a path will be found,
marking renewed progress.
